Editor and Staff
The student senate executive
Monday night declared the Spire,
the college yearbook, a discon-tinued
publication. This action was
taken on the basis of information
and recommendations supplied by
the Publications Board and the
1964-65 Spire co-editors.
The publications board met last,
Thursday to make appointments
of next year's Spire and Coeval
editors. They found only one ap-plicant
for the latter and none
for the former. After some dis-cussion
they concluded that there
was simply little or no student
interest in working on these pub-lications.
Empirical data supporting this
conclusion was supplied by Wen-dell
Carroll, one of this year's
SPIRE co-editors. He reported
that of fifty questionnaires sent
out last Fall to students who
had worked on high school year-books,
only two were returned
indicating interest in working on
the Spire.
As it turned out, this year's
Spire was almost totally the work
of two people. In Carroll's words:
"I feet the strain of producing
such a large publication is too
great to rest upon two or three
people. The strain this year has
been, I feel, part of the reason
f o r my co-editor and business
manager dropping out (of school)."
It might be further mentioned
that both this year's editors took
on their assignment because there
was apparently no one else who
would do so. Neither of them had
previous experience.
The action of the senate execu-tive
Monday night was not a
decision as such, but rather a
declaration to the student body
that the SPIRE has neither an
editor nor a staff for 1965-66,
and is thus discontinued.
The publications board, the sen-ate
executive, and Carroll all ex-pressed
regret at the apparent
loss of what has been a significant
and meaningful product of campus
life.
Despite the floregoing note of
pessismism, a list has been posted
on the senate office bulletin board
for the enlistment of anyone in-terested
in an attempted rescue
of the defunct Spire.
On May 13 the film Richard Ill

Dear Mr. Editor,

College Needs to Review
Conference Relationship
Letters to the Editor:
Fulbright Scholar Suggests Article
To Conference Baptist Constituency
Bethel College needs to re-examine its relationship with
the Baptist General Conference. Seminary construction is
going slowly, the LIFT program was far from a success, and
annual budgets are becoming increasingly hard to meet.
Tuition at Bethel has risen from $300 to $450 in just four
years. The average private institution of higher education in
this country receives 34.3% of its income from student fees.
Bethel receives 60.5% of its income from this source. Bethel
students ought to assert their feelings on the quality and
future of this institution fortissimo before the national con-ference
in Akron next month.
In spite of the newly cut back but still grandiose building
plans, the Conference's commitment to the support of higher
education is to be seriously questioned. The spirit for Bethel's
rapid growth in the last fifteen years has been largely due to
the vigor and enthusiasm of its own administration, faculty
and students — not the annual morale-depreciating finan-cial
tug-of-war with the Conference.
And this not without reason: Since World War II the
Conference has become increasingly heterogeneous by nation-ality
groupings as well as more caught up in local church
projects and national projects not directly related to higher
education. And Dr. David Moberg, writing in the March, 1965,
Faculty Journal points out the fallacy of assuming the mean
personal income of Conference Baptists to be coincident with
the mean personal income of the average American.
But more than this, Bethel students cannot help question-ing
the extent of the Conference's commitment to providing
the financial means for HIGH QUALITY higher education.
Students need look no further than to the accelerated academic
programs of Hamline or Macalester to recognize the hobbled
gait of our forward strides.
Students who come from quality high schools and strong
local church youth programs are sharply disappointed at the
limited horizons and lack of depth in some programs of our
own and other evangelical colleges. Alumni studies, few as
they are, are not conclusively encouraging. The serious goal
of reaching educated society for Christ must never be com-promised.
Apparently the administration and financial leaders of
the college remain unconvinced of the incendiary nature of the
present on-campus social situation. Pleas for such basic facili-ties
as a decent student center go, for practical purposes, un-heeded.
The latest date for the completion of the new college
is 1971. Seven years plus is enough time to justify spending
some money here.
But the largest question remains: Will the Akron Con-ference
continue to merely toy with the increasingly serious
enterprise of providing HIGH QUALITY higher education in
today's America? A minimal step would be the acceptance of
the Federal grants available to Bethel under the Higher
Educational Facilities Act of 1963.
Small amount? Restricted use? The scrimping and fund-juggling
on many of the college budgets in recent years makes
$300,000 for natural science facilities look fairly attractive.
Perhaps more important is settling Bethel's position on princi-ple
while the amount is small, rather than on expediency when
the amounts are increased, as they inevitably will be.
Dr. David Moberg's letter was Editor of THE STANDARD of Chi- come, an indirect financial aid
received some months ago during cago. It ought to have the atten- which fund-raisers sometimes de-the

present discussion. and those who also receive state
deductions, as well as those who
have higher incomes, have an even
greater indirect "gift" from gov-ernment
to Bethel.
I hope the other side of this
issue will be presented just as
lucidly for the benefit of those
of us who wish to act rationally
on this subject.

To the Editor:
On April 23 and 24, approxi-mately
15 Bethel College students
did clean-up work at Beth el
Christian Center in Minneapolis.
It is difficult to adequately ex-press
my appreciation for the help
we received in cleaning and sort-ing
rubbish out of rooms and
closets that were previously un-usable.
Due to the efforts of these
volunteers we were able to accom-plish
far more cleaning and paint-ing

So shouted James Baldwin in
his heart-effort to speak to an un-listening
America, Nobody Knows
My Name. And we have had to
listen to Mr. Baldwin. We have
heard Martin Luther King, Medgar
Evars, Louis Lomax and the rest.
And though the response is a
bit awkward and clumsy, it is
coming. We are beginning to
feel its liberating effects in our
own inner lives.
The Negro revolution in America
is much more than a social revo-lution.
It is adding immeasurably
to the spiritual vitality of the
American people. For generations
we have fooled ourselves into be-lieving
the myth of white moral
superiority. Whenever this illu-sion
was questioned, it was re-.
enforced by pointing at statistics
of the tangible, such as crime,
sexual immorality, etc.
We constructed a whole world
view built around our honesty,
t hrift, and industriousness, as
against (the Negro's) laziness,
cheating and dependence. The real-ly
good Negroes proved their value
as human beings by being faithful
to the white man. Within this
world-view we have worked out
tremendous political, economic, and
religious philosophies.
The Negro had a part to play
in this neat scheme and we ex-pected
him to learn his part.
For some generations he did. At
times a little prompting was
necessary, but in general the
Negro appropriated the white
man's view of him, as his own.
And we all lived together in the
most tragic illusion that it could
last indefinitely.
But the time has come in which

Students Express Enthusiasm
For Summer Missions Project
by Judy Glewwe
"I'm really looking forward to
it." "We're expecting a very fruit-ful
summer." "I'm sure there will
be many new and wonderful ex-periences."
These comments are indicative
of the enthusiasm felt by the eight
Bethelites who have been selected
to spend the summer in various
mission fields as a part of the
Student Missionary Project.
The students who will be go-ing
and the places in which they
will serve are: Bernie Johnson,
Aleutian Islands; Sharon Larson
and Phyllis Nelson, Mexico; Dick
Putnam, New York; Millie Stock-well

where they will be.

Student Queries
cont'd from page two
to let my watch be two minutes
off.
And since I know it's for my
own good, I don't really resent
taking at least five minutes each
sign-in time or 15 minutes of stu-dy
time each make-up night. After
all, the punishment fits the crime.
And if a girl is wild enough to
come in, say, six minutes late
she deserves to have her study
time cut 45 minutes. That kind of
person isn't meant to be a Hamline
co-ed—let her flunk out!
True, some people say it would
work out the same way if we had
no hours at all; good girls would
stay in and study and bad girls
would flunk out or "have to get
married." But J-Board knows that
these people are all wet. You can't
expect a girl, even a very moral
girl to be mature enough to say,
"No, Harry I want to go in now."
Who'd ever date a girl like that?
We need to be able to say, "Harry,
I'd love to, but I'm not signed out
for an overnight."
When you're in college, you may
be old enough to vote, but you're
certainly not ready for a really
big responsibility like making your
own hours.
But I'm getting away from m4
problem. All I really want to know
is, is it really true that nothing
can happen to me before 12 on
week-nights? You see, there's this
guy who wants me to come up to
his apartment to see his etchings
next Thursday afternoon, and I
just wanted to know if it's safe.
Thanks loads.
A good little girl,

Wycliff headquarters in Mexico
City. Perhaps toward the end of
their stay in Mexico they will be
sent to an outlying station to help,
missionaries there.
Millie will be doing hospital
work in Guatamala while Rog will
be operating a missionary radio
station. Bernie will be working
at a hospital and will also be
helping with the summer program
of the mission chapel in the small
fishing village of Sand Point.
The work of the students will,
of course, not be easy. There is
always the fear that they may
make a mistake and thus hinder
the work of the missionaries.
Then, too, there is the language
problem.
Several of the students will not
be able to directly communicate
with the people because of lan-guage
barriers. The job of these
students will be to help the mis-sionaries
in any way so that they
may have more time to spend with
their people.
The students have several ob-jectives
in participating in this
project. According to Phyllis Nel-son,
"It is the Christian's respon-sibility
to know what missions are
like—not only at home but also
in other lands."
The students who participate in
this project are also keeping their
future vocational plans in mind.
Although several of them are not
now planning to go into foreign
mission work, they do think the
summer will be valuable in help-ing
them decide their future plans.

there first is the winner.
At a football game, we congratulate ourselves because we were
cognizant of a fine block thrown to spring a runner loose, or a fine
pattern run by an end. In baseball, Jerry Moulton whiffs a batter and
everyone cheers; but there are those who wonder whether he used
a curve or a slider. In basketball, Edgar Peterman leaves his man
standing to score a lay-up, but we fail to notice the screen set by
Dave Bjorklund.
Saturday there were those who grasped the significance of Jim
Hammar's 10:3 in the hundred and Tim Williams 53:6 in the 440. A
few could ably criticize a certain hurdler's form or a pole vaulter's
whip on the fiberglass pole but such criticisms were reserved for
coaches or specialized laymen. Most who came enjoyed, just came to
see a winner and a winner they saw! The Royals nipped Hamline's
Pipers 91-32.
Sweeping the first three places were winners in the mile, 120 yard
hurdles, the two mile run and the broad jump. In other events, such as
the 440, 100, 880, and 330 yd. intermediate hurdles, the speedsters
placed men in the first two places.
The gold and crimson, which formed the backdrop for the fall sports
was absent, but then the beautiful freshness of green was present in
abundance. The track men jogged around the track and an air of
expectancy hung over the entire day. Bethel was preparing to beat
Hamline, a marvelous spectacle in any sport.
Hamline's track team had not gotten progressively worse through
the years but Bethel's had improved immensely. Seniors remember
when the Royals used to get mauled by the Pipers and a gleeful gleam
lightens their eye as they hear this year's score. Too often, people are
apt to note a decrease in another team's personnel rather than a
qualitative increase in their own team. Fine athletes are making their
way to Bethel and such a flight should be noted.
Before the Hamline football game, the Morris or Sioux Falls basket-ball
game, one heard comments such as: "They're really tough . . . you'll
be lucky to beat them." Then, suddenly, after the Bethel teams have
whalloped them, one hears the comment: "Boy, have those teams gotten
worse in the past few years." Note: Bethel has certainly improved and
should be commended. 1.111-huh.
Congratulations to the track team for a fine team effort against
Hamline.

out-ran the Pipers by a score of 91-32.

To the Sports Editor:
The April 7 issue of the CLAR-ION
has just arrived (The Pony
Express is slow over the moun-tains)
carrying your well deserved
tribute to Coach Owen Halleen.
The sterling quality of that article
was somewhat tarnished, however,
by your wholesale remark that,
"Before his (Halleen's) appearance
at Bethel, the teams never finished
better than even for the season."
May I suggest that you do some
research into the 1950 season.
(Bethel was undefeated excepting
the last game of the season, which
had been cancelled and was re-scheduled
on Thursday to be play-ed
Saturday leaving no time for
practice), or the 1958 season (un-defeated
in five Badger-Gopher
Conference games, and 5-3 for the
season), and if I am not mistaken
there was a 4-3 winning season in
1953 or 1954.
If the SPIRE office is still right
next door to the CLARION office,
you might trouble yourself t o
check on these remarks. I do not
want to take anything away from
Halleen's great record, but a glar-ing
error like yours casts doubt

combined for points in the 220

Knights Capture
Chess Honors
A new sport has been added to
the intramural program at Bethel
this year. Not usually associated
with athletics, chess has been in-cluded
to help round out the
sports activities by reaching a more
varied constituency.
The Knight team of Malcolm
Avey, Warren Gustafson, and Karl
Smith racked up a winning total
of 10 team points. The Seminary,
headed by Eladio Bolanos, finished
second with 7.
Al Brown, a Count, won the in-dividual
championship scoring a
good 41/2- 3/2 . His only tie was with
Eladio Bolanos in the last round,
a game for all the honors, the
winner also taking the champion-ship.
Malcolm Avey and Warren Gus-tafson,
Knights, finished second
and third with 4-1. Eladio, 3 1/2-
1%, Alden Long 3-2, and Doug
Gordh 3-2, rounded out the top
six.
cord as he broke the tape in
16:4. He was followed by Andy
Lehman and Art Dykstra in 16:5
and Larry Peterson in 18:2.
The 440 yard sprint was won by
Tim Williams in 53:6 as Dave
Dahlberg placed second in 54:5
and MacDonald placed fourth in
55:7. The 880 yard run was copped
by Ron Stone in 2:08.3. Da v e
Norman placed second in 2:09 and
Rich Lawrence was fourth.
In the mile run, Bob Chryst,
Norman and Jim Brand captured
the first three places with the
winning time of 4:53.7. Chryst
gained his second first as the
Royals again claimed the first
three places in the three mile run,
with Brand and Mike Rynkiewich
following Chryst's 11:14.8 winning
effort.
Lehman placed first in the 330
yard intermediate hurdles with
a time of 44:2. He was followed
closely by Dykstra in 44:4 for
second place.
The field events proved to b
a source of strength as Jack Buss,
Don Morten, Gustafson and Ryn-kiewich
placed second through
fifth. Buss's putt was 42'1 1/4". Wil-liams
and Peterson placed second
and third in the high jump with,
5'7" attempts and Martin and Buss
placed second and third in the
discus with 117'4" and 110'11' at-tempts.
Bjorklund a n d Ron Bergman
placed second and third in the
pole vaults with 11' and 10'6"
vaults. The mile relay team of
Lantz Leonard, Dahlberg, Stone
and Williams defeated Hamlinel
with a time of 3:43.
The Bethel Royals baseball team
journeyed to Austin over the week-end
for a double-header. Return-ing
home, the Royals had two vic-tories,
4-0 and 4-1, neatly tucked
under their belts and had brought
their season record to 7-4.
Dan Goss was on the mound for
the first game and yielded only
three hits while gaining credit for
t h e shut-out. The Royals again
utilized their startling speed, steal-ing
four bases each game.
Jim Austin started the action
in the first as he was hit by a
pitched ball, stole second on the
catcher's bad throw and came
home for the first tally on the
throw in from the center fielder.
In the second inning, Barnett
Cox lined a single, his first of
four hits all day, and then pro-ceeded
to steal both second and
third. Al Selander came to bat
and swatted him home with a
single.
Cox again started things going
for the Royals, this time in the
fourth inning as he singled to
center after Selander was beaned.
Duane Johnson slapped a grounder
to the shortstop, who muffed it,
allowing both Cox and Selander
to score for the third and fourth
runs.
The second game saw the pitch-ing
of Jerry Moulton and John-son,
with Moulton receiving
credit for the 4-1 Bethel vic-tory.
The team's leading batsman,
Doug Kelley, was hit by a pitch in
the first inning of the second game,
Kelley then stole second and Bob
Nolin came through in the clutch
to single him home. Nolin stole
both second and third before Cox
walked.
On Cox's second base steal, the
catcher threw wildly allowing
Nolin to score from third. After
retrieving the ball, t h e center
fielder fired to third to head off
Cox. The ball merrily sailed over
the third baseman's head, giving
the Royals their third run off one
hit.
In the third inning, Kelley
slugged his third hit out of five
attempts and Nolin followed suit
with a single. Dave Guerhke hit
a bounding ball to the left of
second, which the shortstop obli-gingly
missed, allowing Kelley
to score from third with the
Royals' fourth and final run.
In the ensuing action, Cox hit
a roller to the shortstop which
was muffed, leaving the bases load-ed
with only one out. Paul Nelson
and Selander struck out, thus end-ing
the five inning game.
The Royals' next game is at
Martin Luther on Saturday, May
15.

The student senate executive
Monday night declared the Spire,
the college yearbook, a discon-tinued
publication. This action was
taken on the basis of information
and recommendations supplied by
the Publications Board and the
1964-65 Spire co-editors.
The publications board met last,
Thursday to make appointments
of next year's Spire and Coeval
editors. They found only one ap-plicant
for the latter and none
for the former. After some dis-cussion
they concluded that there
was simply little or no student
interest in working on these pub-lications.
Empirical data supporting this
conclusion was supplied by Wen-dell
Carroll, one of this year's
SPIRE co-editors. He reported
that of fifty questionnaires sent
out last Fall to students who
had worked on high school year-books,
only two were returned
indicating interest in working on
the Spire.
As it turned out, this year's
Spire was almost totally the work
of two people. In Carroll's words:
"I feet the strain of producing
such a large publication is too
great to rest upon two or three
people. The strain this year has
been, I feel, part of the reason
f o r my co-editor and business
manager dropping out (of school)."
It might be further mentioned
that both this year's editors took
on their assignment because there
was apparently no one else who
would do so. Neither of them had
previous experience.
The action of the senate execu-tive
Monday night was not a
decision as such, but rather a
declaration to the student body
that the SPIRE has neither an
editor nor a staff for 1965-66,
and is thus discontinued.
The publications board, the sen-ate
executive, and Carroll all ex-pressed
regret at the apparent
loss of what has been a significant
and meaningful product of campus
life.
Despite the floregoing note of
pessismism, a list has been posted
on the senate office bulletin board
for the enlistment of anyone in-terested
in an attempted rescue
of the defunct Spire.

College Needs to Review
Conference Relationship
Letters to the Editor:
Fulbright Scholar Suggests Article
To Conference Baptist Constituency
Bethel College needs to re-examine its relationship with
the Baptist General Conference. Seminary construction is
going slowly, the LIFT program was far from a success, and
annual budgets are becoming increasingly hard to meet.
Tuition at Bethel has risen from $300 to $450 in just four
years. The average private institution of higher education in
this country receives 34.3% of its income from student fees.
Bethel receives 60.5% of its income from this source. Bethel
students ought to assert their feelings on the quality and
future of this institution fortissimo before the national con-ference
in Akron next month.
In spite of the newly cut back but still grandiose building
plans, the Conference's commitment to the support of higher
education is to be seriously questioned. The spirit for Bethel's
rapid growth in the last fifteen years has been largely due to
the vigor and enthusiasm of its own administration, faculty
and students — not the annual morale-depreciating finan-cial
tug-of-war with the Conference.
And this not without reason: Since World War II the
Conference has become increasingly heterogeneous by nation-ality
groupings as well as more caught up in local church
projects and national projects not directly related to higher
education. And Dr. David Moberg, writing in the March, 1965,
Faculty Journal points out the fallacy of assuming the mean
personal income of Conference Baptists to be coincident with
the mean personal income of the average American.
But more than this, Bethel students cannot help question-ing
the extent of the Conference's commitment to providing
the financial means for HIGH QUALITY higher education.
Students need look no further than to the accelerated academic
programs of Hamline or Macalester to recognize the hobbled
gait of our forward strides.
Students who come from quality high schools and strong
local church youth programs are sharply disappointed at the
limited horizons and lack of depth in some programs of our
own and other evangelical colleges. Alumni studies, few as
they are, are not conclusively encouraging. The serious goal
of reaching educated society for Christ must never be com-promised.
Apparently the administration and financial leaders of
the college remain unconvinced of the incendiary nature of the
present on-campus social situation. Pleas for such basic facili-ties
as a decent student center go, for practical purposes, un-heeded.
The latest date for the completion of the new college
is 1971. Seven years plus is enough time to justify spending
some money here.
But the largest question remains: Will the Akron Con-ference
continue to merely toy with the increasingly serious
enterprise of providing HIGH QUALITY higher education in
today's America? A minimal step would be the acceptance of
the Federal grants available to Bethel under the Higher
Educational Facilities Act of 1963.
Small amount? Restricted use? The scrimping and fund-juggling
on many of the college budgets in recent years makes
$300,000 for natural science facilities look fairly attractive.
Perhaps more important is settling Bethel's position on princi-ple
while the amount is small, rather than on expediency when
the amounts are increased, as they inevitably will be.

deductions, as well as those who

issue will be presented just as
lucidly for the benefit of those
of us who wish to act rationally
on this subject.

We constructed a whole world
view built around our honesty,
t hrift, and industriousness, as
against (the Negro's) laziness,
cheating and dependence. The real-ly
good Negroes proved their value
as human beings by being faithful
to the white man. Within this
world-view we have worked out
tremendous political, economic, and
religious philosophies.
The Negro had a part to play
in this neat scheme and we ex-pected
him to learn his part.
For some generations he did. At
times a little prompting was
necessary, but in general the
Negro appropriated the white
man's view of him, as his own.
And we all lived together in the
most tragic illusion that it could
last indefinitely.
But the time has come in which
the white man can no longer de-

Bethel art majors, Marvin Bjurlin,
Wendell Carroll and Judson Nel-son.
Marv, a senior from Alexandria,
Minnesota, hopes to attend grad-uate
school next year. Among his
choices are Cranbrooke Art School
near Detroit, Michigan, or t h e
Pratt Institute of Art in Brooklyn,
New York.
Also a senior, Jud Nelson hails
from Brooklyn and plans to be
back at Bethel for one semester
next year.
Wendell, a junior from St. Paul.
Minnesota, completes the list of
second and third year painters. He

Students Express Enthusiasm
For Summer Missions Project
by Judy Glewwe
"I'm really looking forward to
it." "We're expecting a very fruit-ful
summer." "I'm sure there will
be many new and wonderful ex-periences."
These comments are indicative
of the enthusiasm felt by the eight
Bethelites who have been selected
to spend the summer in various
mission fields as a part of the
Student Missionary Project.
The students who will be go-ing
and the places in which they
will serve are: Bernie Johnson,
Aleutian Islands; Sharon Larson
and Phyllis Nelson, Mexico; Dick
Putnam, New York; Millie Stock-well
a n d Roger Waldenstrom,
Guatemala; and Ben and Sharon
West, who are not yet sure
where they will be.
Phyllis Nelson and Sharon Larson
will be doing office work at the
Student Queries
cont'd from page two
to let my watch be two minutes
off.
And since I know it's for my
own good, I don't really resent
taking at least five minutes each
sign-in time or 15 minutes of stu-dy
time each make-up night. After
all, the punishment fits the crime.
And if a girl is wild enough to
come in, say, six minutes late
she deserves to have her study
time cut 45 minutes. That kind of
person isn't meant to be a Hamline
co-ed—let her flunk out!
True, some people say it would
work out the same way if we had
no hours at all; good girls would
stay in and study and bad girls
would flunk out or "have to get
married." But J-Board knows that
these people are all wet. You can't
expect a girl, even a very moral
girl to be mature enough to say,
"No, Harry I want to go in now."
Who'd ever date a girl like that?
We need to be able to say, "Harry,
I'd love to, but I'm not signed out
for an overnight."
When you're in college, you may
be old enough to vote, but you're
certainly not ready for a really
big responsibility like making your
own hours.
But I'm getting away from m4
problem. All I really want to know
is, is it really true that nothing
can happen to me before 12 on
week-nights? You see, there's this
guy who wants me to come up to
his apartment to see his etchings
next Thursday afternoon, and I
just wanted to know if it's safe.
Thanks loads.
A good little girl,
Ann Fezler
Wycliff headquarters in Mexico
City. Perhaps toward the end of
their stay in Mexico they will be
sent to an outlying station to help,
missionaries there.
Millie will be doing hospital
work in Guatamala while Rog will
be operating a missionary radio
station. Bernie will be working
at a hospital and will also be
helping with the summer program
of the mission chapel in the small
fishing village of Sand Point.
The work of the students will,
of course, not be easy. There is
always the fear that they may
make a mistake and thus hinder
the work of the missionaries.
Then, too, there is the language
problem.
Several of the students will not
be able to directly communicate
with the people because of lan-guage
barriers. The job of these
students will be to help the mis-sionaries
in any way so that they
may have more time to spend with
their people.
The students have several ob-jectives
in participating in this
project. According to Phyllis Nel-son,
"It is the Christian's respon-sibility
to know what missions are
like—not only at home but also
in other lands."
The students who participate in
this project are also keeping their
future vocational plans in mind.
Although several of them are not
now planning to go into foreign
mission work, they do think the
summer will be valuable in help-ing
them decide their future plans.

The beauty of track is it's simplicity. One need not understand, for
there is nothing to understand. The runners race, and he who gets
there first is the winner.
At a football game, we congratulate ourselves because we were
cognizant of a fine block thrown to spring a runner loose, or a fine
pattern run by an end. In baseball, Jerry Moulton whiffs a batter and
everyone cheers; but there are those who wonder whether he used
a curve or a slider. In basketball, Edgar Peterman leaves his man
standing to score a lay-up, but we fail to notice the screen set by
Dave Bjorklund.
Saturday there were those who grasped the significance of Jim
Hammar's 10:3 in the hundred and Tim Williams 53:6 in the 440. A
few could ably criticize a certain hurdler's form or a pole vaulter's
whip on the fiberglass pole but such criticisms were reserved for
coaches or specialized laymen. Most who came enjoyed, just came to
see a winner and a winner they saw! The Royals nipped Hamline's
Pipers 91-32.
Sweeping the first three places were winners in the mile, 120 yard
hurdles, the two mile run and the broad jump. In other events, such as
the 440, 100, 880, and 330 yd. intermediate hurdles, the speedsters
placed men in the first two places.
The gold and crimson, which formed the backdrop for the fall sports
was absent, but then the beautiful freshness of green was present in
abundance. The track men jogged around the track and an air of
expectancy hung over the entire day. Bethel was preparing to beat
Hamline, a marvelous spectacle in any sport.
Hamline's track team had not gotten progressively worse through
the years but Bethel's had improved immensely. Seniors remember
when the Royals used to get mauled by the Pipers and a gleeful gleam
lightens their eye as they hear this year's score. Too often, people are
apt to note a decrease in another team's personnel rather than a
qualitative increase in their own team. Fine athletes are making their
way to Bethel and such a flight should be noted.
Before the Hamline football game, the Morris or Sioux Falls basket-ball
game, one heard comments such as: "They're really tough . . . you'll
be lucky to beat them." Then, suddenly, after the Bethel teams have
whalloped them, one hears the comment: "Boy, have those teams gotten
worse in the past few years." Note: Bethel has certainly improved and
should be commended. 1.111-huh.
Congratulations to the track team for a fine team effort against
Hamline.
Running High hurdles in the Bethel-Hamline track meet are Art
Dykstra (left) and Andy Lehman (right). The Royals out-jumped and
out-ran the Pipers by a score of 91-32.

The Bethel Royals track team
hosted the Pipers of Hamline in
a dual track meet on Saturday;
May 8, and emerged victorious
with a score of 91-32. In the action
at Alexander Ramsey High School,
the Royals copped ten first places
as the freshman standout, J i
Hammar, contributed three first
place efforts.
Hammar started the day's effort
by winning the broad jump with
a leap of 20', 8 3/4". Bob McDonald
To the Sports Editor:
The April 7 issue of the CLAR-ION
has just arrived (The Pony
Express is slow over the moun-tains)
carrying your well deserved
tribute to Coach Owen Halleen.
The sterling quality of that article
was somewhat tarnished, however,
by your wholesale remark that,
"Before his (Halleen's) appearance
at Bethel, the teams never finished
better than even for the season."
May I suggest that you do some
research into the 1950 season.
(Bethel was undefeated excepting
the last game of the season, which
had been cancelled and was re-scheduled
on Thursday to be play-ed
Saturday leaving no time for
practice), or the 1958 season (un-defeated
in five Badger-Gopher
Conference games, and 5-3 for the
season), and if I am not mistaken
there was a 4-3 winning season in
1953 or 1954.
If the SPIRE office is still right
next door to the CLARION office,
you might trouble yourself t o
check on these remarks. I do not
want to take anything away from
Halleen's great record, but a glar-ing
error like yours casts doubt

tied for second place and Tim
Williams placed fourth with a 18'
41/4" attempt. In the 110 yard dash,
Hammar turned in the fine time
of 10:3 for another first. He was
followed by freshman Dave Moss
in 10:15. Hammar and Moss again
combined for points in the 220
yard dash with times of 22:3 and
22:8 respectively for first and third
places.
In the 120 high hurdles, Dave
Bjorklund set a new school re-on
the veracity of the entire ar-ticle.
Warm regards to t h e entire
CLARION staff. I look forward to
each issue as it helps to keep me
up to date on one of my happiest
memories, my years at Bethel.

Knights Capture
Chess Honors
A new sport has been added to
the intramural program at Bethel
this year. Not usually associated
with athletics, chess has been in-cluded
to help round out the
sports activities by reaching a more
varied constituency.
The Knight team of Malcolm
Avey, Warren Gustafson, and Karl
Smith racked up a winning total
of 10 team points. The Seminary,
headed by Eladio Bolanos, finished
second with 7.
Al Brown, a Count, won the in-dividual
championship scoring a
good 41/2- 3/2 . His only tie was with
Eladio Bolanos in the last round,
a game for all the honors, the
winner also taking the champion-ship.
Malcolm Avey and Warren Gus-tafson,
Knights, finished second
and third with 4-1. Eladio, 3 1/2-
1%, Alden Long 3-2, and Doug
Gordh 3-2, rounded out the top
six.
cord as he broke the tape in
16:4. He was followed by Andy
Lehman and Art Dykstra in 16:5
and Larry Peterson in 18:2.
The 440 yard sprint was won by
Tim Williams in 53:6 as Dave
Dahlberg placed second in 54:5
and MacDonald placed fourth in
55:7. The 880 yard run was copped
by Ron Stone in 2:08.3. Da v e
Norman placed second in 2:09 and
Rich Lawrence was fourth.
In the mile run, Bob Chryst,
Norman and Jim Brand captured
the first three places with the
winning time of 4:53.7. Chryst
gained his second first as the
Royals again claimed the first
three places in the three mile run,
with Brand and Mike Rynkiewich
following Chryst's 11:14.8 winning
effort.
Lehman placed first in the 330
yard intermediate hurdles with
a time of 44:2. He was followed
closely by Dykstra in 44:4 for
second place.
The field events proved to b
a source of strength as Jack Buss,
Don Morten, Gustafson and Ryn-kiewich
placed second through
fifth. Buss's putt was 42'1 1/4". Wil-liams
and Peterson placed second
and third in the high jump with,
5'7" attempts and Martin and Buss
placed second and third in the
discus with 117'4" and 110'11' at-tempts.
Bjorklund a n d Ron Bergman
placed second and third in the
pole vaults with 11' and 10'6"
vaults. The mile relay team of
Lantz Leonard, Dahlberg, Stone
and Williams defeated Hamlinel
with a time of 3:43.
The Bethel Royals baseball team
journeyed to Austin over the week-end
for a double-header. Return-ing
home, the Royals had two vic-tories,
4-0 and 4-1, neatly tucked
under their belts and had brought
their season record to 7-4.
Dan Goss was on the mound for
the first game and yielded only
three hits while gaining credit for
t h e shut-out. The Royals again
utilized their startling speed, steal-ing
four bases each game.
Jim Austin started the action
in the first as he was hit by a
pitched ball, stole second on the
catcher's bad throw and came
home for the first tally on the
throw in from the center fielder.
In the second inning, Barnett
Cox lined a single, his first of
four hits all day, and then pro-ceeded
to steal both second and
third. Al Selander came to bat
and swatted him home with a
single.
Cox again started things going
for the Royals, this time in the
fourth inning as he singled to
center after Selander was beaned.
Duane Johnson slapped a grounder
to the shortstop, who muffed it,
allowing both Cox and Selander
to score for the third and fourth
runs.
The second game saw the pitch-ing
of Jerry Moulton and John-son,
with Moulton receiving
credit for the 4-1 Bethel vic-tory.
The team's leading batsman,
Doug Kelley, was hit by a pitch in
the first inning of the second game,
Kelley then stole second and Bob
Nolin came through in the clutch
to single him home. Nolin stole
both second and third before Cox
walked.
On Cox's second base steal, the
catcher threw wildly allowing
Nolin to score from third. After
retrieving the ball, t h e center
fielder fired to third to head off
Cox. The ball merrily sailed over
the third baseman's head, giving
the Royals their third run off one
hit.
In the third inning, Kelley
slugged his third hit out of five
attempts and Nolin followed suit
with a single. Dave Guerhke hit
a bounding ball to the left of
second, which the shortstop obli-gingly
missed, allowing Kelley
to score from third with the
Royals' fourth and final run.
In the ensuing action, Cox hit
a roller to the shortstop which
was muffed, leaving the bases load-ed
with only one out. Paul Nelson
and Selander struck out, thus end-ing
the five inning game.
The Royals' next game is at
Martin Luther on Saturday, May
15.
